Amaç: Doğum sonrası dönem kadınlar için en kritik süreçlerden biridir. Bu süreçte kadın vücudunda
birçok değişiklik meydana gelir. Egzersiz, bu değişiklikleri yönetmenin en kolay yöntemidir. Çalışmamız,
pilates egzersizi yapan kadınların doğum sonrası depresyon, uyku kalitesi ve fonksiyonel düzeylerinin
nasıl etkilediğini anlamayı amaçlamaktadır.
Gereç ve Yöntemler: Randomize kontrollü çalışmamızda, 25-38 yaş arası, tek bebeği olan 28 pilates
ve 29 kontrol grubunda rastgele olacak şekilde 57 postpartum gönüllü kadın dahil edildi. Pilates grubuna
12 hafta boyunca haftada iki gün, günde bir saat fizyoterapist tarafından pilates egzersizleri verildi.
Kontrol grubuna gevşeme ve nefes egzersizlerinden oluşan 12 haftalık ev programı verildi. Çalışma öncesi ve sonrasında doğum sonrası depresyon; Edinburgh Postpartum Depresyon Ölçeği ile (EPDÖ), uyku kalitesi; Postpartum Uyku
Kalitesi Ölçeği (PUKÖ) ve fonksiyonel düzey; Doğum Sonrası Fonksiyonel Durum Envanteri (DSFDE) ile değerlendirildi.
Bulgular: Pilates grubunda EPDÖ (8,71±1,42’ye karşı 7,06±1,21, p=0,001), PUKÖ (25,69±3,40’a karşı 22,91±3,04, p=0,001), DSFDE
(2,47±0,41’e karşı 2,93±0,21, p=0,001) skorlarında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı iyileşmeler gözlendi. Kontrol grubu depresyon düzeylerinde
anlamlı fark göstermezken (8,85±1,50’ye karşı 8,95±1,23, p=0,479), uyku kalitesi (26,17±3,41’e karşı 27,59±2,94, p=0,009) ve doğum
sonrası fonksiyonel düzey parametrelerinde istatistiksel olarak bozulmalar gözlendi (2,65±0,42’ye karşı 2,48±0,46, p=0,016).
Sonuç: Sonuçlar, doğum sonrası dönemde uygulanan 12 haftalık pilates egzersizlerinin kadınların postpartum fonksiyonel düzeylerini,
depresyon düzeylerini ve uyku kalitelerini iyileştirebileceğini göstermiştir.

Effects of Pilates Exercises to Depression and Sleep Quality on the Postpartum Period: A Randomized Controlled Study

Öz

Aim: Postpartum is one of the most critical processes in women. Many changes occur in the female
body during this process. Exercise is the easiest method to manage these changes. Our study aimed to
understand how postpartum depression, sleep quality, and functional levels affect women who perform
pilates exercises.
Material and Methods: In this randomized controlled study, 57 postpartum volunteer women between
six weeks and six months, aged 25-38, with a single baby, were randomly included in 28 pilates and 29
control groups. The pilates group was given pilates exercises for one hour a day, two days a week for
12 weeks, by a physical therapist. The control group was given a home program consisting of relaxation
and breathing exercises. Before and after the study, depression was evaluated using the Edinburgh
Postpartum Depression Scale (EPDS), sleep quality, the Postpartum Sleep Quality Scale (PSQS), and
postnatal functional levels, the Inventory of Functional Status After Childbirth (IFSAC) was evaluated
using the questionnaire form-filling method.
Results: EPDS (8.71±1.42 versus 7.06±1.21, p=0.001), PSQS (25.69±3.40 versus 22.91±3.04,
p=0.001), IFSAC (2.47±0.41 versus 2.93±0.21, p=0.001) scores statistically significant improvements
were observed in pilates group. While the control group did not show a significant difference in
depression levels (8.85±1.50 versus 8.95±1.23, p=0.479), statistically worsening of sleep quality
(26.17±3.41 versus 27.59±2.94, p=0.009) and postpartum functional level parameters were observed
(2.65±0.42 versus 2.48±0.46, p=0.016).
Conclusion: The results showed that 12-week pilates exercises applied during the postpartum period
could improve postpartum women’s functional levels, depression levels, and sleep quality.
